2014年佛羅里達州第十三國會選區特別選舉於2014年3月11日舉行,旨在填補因聯邦眾議員比爾·揚於2013年10月18日逝世所造成的席位空缺。[1]此次選舉的初選於2014年1月14日舉行。[2]在此之前,比爾·揚於2012年的聯邦眾議院選舉中以57%的得票率順利取勝,並在逝世前不久宣佈不再參與2014年選舉。[3]在計票結束後,大衛·喬利成為了此次選舉的勝利者。

2013年10月9日,自1971年起就一直擔任坦帕灣地區聯邦眾議員的比爾·揚宣佈不再參加2014年選舉。不過比爾·揚於9天後就逝世了,因此需要舉辦一場特別選舉以填補其遺留下來的空位。儘管比爾·揚在之前的選舉中以極大的優勢取勝,但這一選區在近些年來變得愈發有競爭性。在2000年的總統選舉中,阿爾·戈爾以51%-49%的得票率在這一選區領先喬治·獲加·布殊,不過小布殊於2004年的選舉中以51%-49%的優勢領先。而在2008年與2012年兩次總統選舉中,奧巴馬分別以51%-47%和50%-49%的優勢在這一選區領先於約翰·麥凱恩和米特·羅姆尼。鑑於此,很多政治評論員和記者將這次選舉視為2014年美國中期選舉的領頭羊。[4][5]雖然有人認為將特別選舉視為領頭羊的做法不妥,不過選舉結果確實說明了公眾情緒普遍支持共和黨。[6]

2014年2月3日,參加特別選舉的三位候選人大衛·喬利、魯卡斯·奧弗比和艾力士·辛克進行了一場電視辯論。辯論在聖彼得斯堡學院塞米諾爾校區舉行,由坦帕灣時報和海灣新聞9共同舉辦,同時此次辯論在C-SPAN3上進行直播,阿爾·呂切爾、亞當·史密夫和艾米·霍莉菲爾德擔任主持人。[47]海灣新聞9在辯論會後進行了一項不科學的民意調查,該調查顯示觀眾認為大衛·喬利會以37%的得票率取勝,其次是艾力士·辛克的得票率為33%,以及魯卡斯·歐比的得票率為30%。[48]
根據OpenSecrets2014年2月13日報道稱,競選期間外部團體在選舉中花費了350萬美元,其中260萬美元來自支持喬利的團體。這是2014年最燒錢的一次選舉,也是歷史上最燒錢的國會特別選舉之一。[49]而美聯社後來又報道稱,由於民主黨在競選前最後幾周投入了1100萬美元,因此辛克的最終花費實際上超過了喬利。[50]
